South

The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Ascension Center of Equitation

The Ascension Center of Equitation is the epicenter of the Dark Hunter Cavalry Unit. Originally a high-class facility for show-jumping, Ascension now caters entirely to the Cavalry Unit. Here the Dark Hunters learn how to ride and fight upon the backs of horses - many of which are Were's themselves.

Hyde Park

Hyde Place takes up a large part of the Southern side of the city and includes a large playground, several fountains, and a small garden. The park is open from five in the morning till midnight though many shady characters may visit this place while it's technically "closed". The park has also been a venue for several concerts and hosts many holiday-related events. Under a full moon, witches are often seen here for the sacred ground beneath the iconic Weeping Beech.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (PDZA) is an award-winning combined zoo and aquarium located within the Southern Part of Sacrosanct. Situated on 92 acres in Sacrosanct's Hyde Park, the zoo and aquarium are home to over 9,000 specimens representing 367 animal species. Point Defiance is also widely known for its conversation efforts regarding the breed and release program of Red Wolves.

The Outskirts

Beyond the city limits and over the bridge lies the deep, dark, and almost impenetrable forest. Often seen as a way to guard this magical city against the world that surrounds it, many are entirely ignorant of the evil that may creep between those tree trunks. Many were-creatures use the forest for the transformations of their newest members and some even take to hunting here. It isn't particularly peculiar for people to go missing within this forest but once you get through, the rest of the world awaits.

The University of Sacrosanct

The University of Sacrosanct offers some of the top programs in the nation with its outstanding campus and specialized faculty. The University places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

For once, Henry wasn't turned on by the form of a naked woman. He had a wonderful boyfriend at home that he wanted to go back to after this was all over with. He loved Sterling unconditionally and wanted to spend every moment with him. This was probably the only time he would ever look at a naked person other than Sterling and want to do absolutely nothing about it but cover her up.

He didn't think her crazy or rabbit...just strange and obviously scared. It was almost like he had come across someone new to their body. Perhaps she was. There had been stranger things that had happened to him in his lifetime so it wouldn't be that far of a stretch. But something told him that she wasn't necessarily going to be giving him the answers that he wanted. It might take some effort to extract them.

When he offers to help her, he's a little taken back by her words. Did she really just ask him what was in it for him? Did she really think he had something to gain by helping her? "Look...I'm just trying to help. No strings attached. But if you don't want my help, fine. I doubt those assholes will be kind to you when they get back." If she was going to be so pigheaded and not even allow him to help her out, then he was going to go back home. He just stopped to do his civil duty. If she was going to put up a fight, then he would let her stay here and get raped, killed, or worse.

She asks him if the men trying to do her harm are really called assholes. He shrugs. "In a sense." He doesn't feel like calling them a more proper term. Assholes would fit just fine. But then she's going on again about fighting his help. He doesn't understand it and he sighs. "Because I don't like seeing innocent people getting hurt." He doesn't understand the real reason he's drawn to helping her. She's like him â€" she can shift. Unfortunately for Henry...he's in denial that he too can shift into a panther form. Perhaps one day he would realize it...just not today.

And just like she's been doing all night, she's not wanting his help. She needed to get out of the cold and she needed to get her wound looked at. "Yes...it's like my den. Being out in this cold with nothing to warm you will kill you if the infection you get from that wound doesn't kill you first. I'm trying to save your life and you're making it very difficult." So much for trying to help her. He's trying to do one act of kindness and it's really biting him in the ass. "Look. If you don't want my help, fine. I'm not going to force you to take it. But you might want to learn that the whole world isn't out to kill you and there are some decent humans out there who don't like to see people die." He shrugs as he turns and begins to walk away. He wasn't going to force his help on her. In fact, she could just have his jacket. It might buy her a day with no fur out in this cold.
